How to make fried dough sticks crispy

If you want to make crispy and crunchy fried dough, the dough is more important. To make the fried dough well, you need to prepare one portion of oil and flour, another portion of water and flour, and also an appropriate amount of eggs. Depending on the taste, you can add more sugar if you like sweet, and a little salt if you like salty. In addition to kneading the dough, you should also pay attention to the frying process. Let's learn how to make the fried dough crispy.

1. First, divide the flour into two parts, one part for mixing with oil and the other part for mixing with water. (You can put one or two eggs in the flour, and add salt or sugar depending on your taste for sweet or salty.) After mixing, combine the two into one and make sure it is mixed evenly. Then let the dough rest for about 30 minutes.

2. Knead the dough into a long strip. (I accidentally turned on the flash and it turned yellow) Hehe

3. Cut into small portions. The small twists I cut are about 5 grams each. It depends on whether you like big twists or small twists. If you like big twists, you can cut them bigger.

4. Roll small pieces into thin strips. If you like sesame fried dough sticks, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds on the chopping board and knead the dough while cooking the meat.

5. Start twisting the two ends left and right, and then put them together.

6. Continue twisting to make them overlap, and finally the small tail should be stuffed into the hole.

7. After stuffing it in, the fried dough twist is initially successful.

8. Let me show you, haha, isn’t it beautiful?

9. Then turn on the fire and add oil. When the oil is 80% hot, you can put the fried dough sticks in. After putting them in, fry them slowly over low heat. If the fire is too high, they will easily get burnt.

10. Fry until golden brown and serve. The fresh fried dough twist is ready.

It should be noted that:

Sugar must be melted in hot water first and then spread out to cool for later use. Adding it directly will make the fried dough sticks uneven in color. Add a spoonful of oil when kneading the dough to make the dough sticks crispier. After kneading the dough, add sugar for 10-15 minutes, and then add sugar for another 10-15 minutes after dividing it into pieces and rolling it into strips. After the pieces are divided into the same size, they must be rubbed upright when rolling them into long strips so that they can be rubbed. The rubbing method is very important. First, roll them into long and thin strips, then rub them with both hands in opposite directions. After twisting them, they will automatically curl and twist together, and then pinch the two sides to fix them.

(The pan is not big, so after rolling the dough into long and thin strips, I twisted it again in the same way. You can also put it directly into the pan like this, so the frying time will not be so long); the temperature for frying should be between 140 degrees and 150 degrees. Fry it on high heat first, and then switch to low heat when the dough floats up. You can move the dough when it floats up during frying to avoid affecting the shaping. Switching to low heat can slowly fry out the moisture and make the dough more crispy.
